Corporate venture arm for CrowdStrike in cybersecurity continues to invest in an ecosystem of security innovators
CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, announced that its strategic investment vehicle, Falcon Fund, has invested in Vanta, a pioneer in compliance automation that restores trust in software businesses with an easy-to-use set of tools to improve their security. Over 3,000 companies rely on Vanta to automate security monitoring for compliance standards including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR and CCPA. In addition to the investment, Vanta and CrowdStrike are partnering to bring together leading technology to automate compliance securely across small and midsize business (SMB) and enterprise environments. A native integration already allows customers to pull CrowdStrike data into the Vanta platform. Vanta will also appear in the CrowdStrike Store.
“Businesses today need to think about compliance and security from Day 1, especially if they want to unlock new markets and opportunities. We’ll work closely with CrowdStrike to build deep product integrations and bring best-in-class tools to our customers.”
“We chose to invest in Vanta because the team shares our vision of breaking down silos and unifying data across an organization,” said Michael Sentonas, chief technology officer at CrowdStrike. “Compliance is critical to ensure that the proper guardrails are in place for growing organizations, and Vanta is a leader in compliance automation through seamless integrations with the most in-demand security and infrastructure providers.”
